<p>It isn't just the big multiplier increase, they also say "...and no new models or features will be added to annual plans going forward."<p>Can you imagine ten months from now and you're still rolling Sonnet 4.6?<p>Cancel/refund is looking pretty good. They're doing refunds until May 20.<p>"To request a refund, go to Settings → Billing and licensing → Licensing, select Manage subscription, then choose Cancel and refund "subscription". (The phrasing varies slightly depending on your subscription ). This option will be available until May 20."</p>

<p>This simple game challenges you drag-and-drop a set of LLM models into the correct order (release date, input cost at launch, LM Arena score) using just their name.<p>It's no secret that LLM model names are a bit of a mess, but when OpenAI decided to backtrack from 4.5 to 4.1, well, I just couldn't let it go.<p>This was my first attempt at vibe coding something with VSCode Copilot Agent (w/ Claude 3.7 Sonnet). The agent got me like 95% functionality, but the moment I needed to crack open the code myself I couldn't handle the mess and had to clean it up. I am bad at letting go control enough for vibe coding. If anyone else has had that problem and gotten over it, I would love some helpful tips.<p>I collected the data primarily by digging through Simon Willison's blog archives and snapshotting LMArena's leaderboard. If you spot any inaccuracies in the model data, I'd appreciate corrections with sources!<p>Nothing fancy in the tech here, just a vanilla HTML/CSS/JS site hosted on GitHub Pages.
